Origin News announces a new beta version of the Windows Origin client should
now be available, with the OS X beta expected today (thanks
VG247). They say this will roll out to the rest of the Origin "community" in
the weeks to come, but those who want it now can still opt-in to the beta. Word
is this adds streaming support, 64-bit enhancements, and achievement
tracking:

After downloading this update, you'll notice that we've revamped
the look and feel of the Application Settings menu. For PC users, if you've been
broadcasting your gameplay, you'll appreciate the new ability to auto-archive
your broadcasts. For you power gamers with muscular 64-bit systems on either PC
or Mac, the new multilauncher will give you additional options for taking
advantage of your hardware when starting up supported games. Finally, you can
now keep track of all the achievements you've completed in Battlefield 3, Mass
Effect 3, and Dead Space 3 on your Origin profile page. Start playing those
games after updating Origin, and watch your Origin Point total (displayed
underneath your name) increase by completing their achievements.
